bloudie man thou hast had here before alledged vnto thee the sentence which the spirit of God pronounced against such qualified murderers saying that the weapons of iniquitie are in their tabernacles ●en 19. cursed be their furie for it is impudencie The nobles and valiant Catholikes which thou doest exhort vnto the same cursed furie will answere thee that they wil not giue entertaiment vnto the deuill being a murderer as thy Iacobin companion did when he s●ew the king no otherwise but as the example of Iudas when hee betraied his master Christ vnto the Iewes Luk. 22. And as thou wouldest serue thy selfe with such examples for the execution of such a qualified wickednes so likewise wouldest thou that the name of a Catholike might serue for another hang-man when as thou sayest if the name of a Catholike bee common vnto vs why not weapons also But to better purpose will the nobles aunswere thee and saie that if the name of Christians doeth admonish all French men to one mutuall duetie why then doe not yee rather ioyne with vs then with the Spaniard And vppon thy repeated obiection where againe thou doest accuse them to bee mercenaries they will aunswere thee that they defend theyr king because of theyr duetyes aboue mentioued and not otherwise It belongeth to thee and thy companions to defende that parte which may maintaine your pottage potte Thou repliest againe and saiest But if this be an article of your faith to beleeue in the Catholicke church and leaue out the Romane what shall become of your faith They will answere thee againe for the tenth time that it is enough for them to beleeue the Catholike christian church which hath for obiect Christ Iesus and his promises not the traditions Gal. 5 nor the Bishoppe of Rome The faithfull that bee vnited vnto this church neede not go to visite the monuments of Palestina wherof thou here speakest seeing that they are the children of the Ierusalem from on high Eph. 2. Rom 4. Iohn ● Mat. 6. Ephe. 1. Rom. 4. which doth deliuer and sette them free frō such other such like seruitude This church is the mother of our king approued of the estates and iustified by the iustice of Fraunce to bee in the princes qualitie hauing right to raigne and commaund there notwithstanding in despite of thy contradictions In summe and for conclusion of this article we say that we obtaine life euerlasting in the christian church by the faith which is builded vpon the only word of God the which doth teach 1. Cor. 1. propose present aswel vnto the noblemen as vnto others the way and means how to be inriched and honored with life eternall in the heauens which trust hope in God and in his promises by the onely meane and benefite of the death passion resurrection Act. 1. and ascention of our Lord Iesus Christ which dyed for our sins and rose againe for our iustification and which hath been giuen to vs by God for wisdome iustice sanctification and redemption and finally which ascended into heauen there to prepare a place for vs and to receiue vs th●ther to the ende that we may liue with him eternally in a perfect estate offelicitie and blessednes These beleefs and promises doe suffice the faithfull without that that there is any need to adioine the inuentions and traditions of the Pope of Rome which are hurtful in stead of profiting vnto saluation All those which do liue in this attention and hope aboue all humane duerie will haue in soueraigne commendation the honor obedience which they owe vnto their soueraigne Magistrates and the duties that they are bound to yeeld vnto their countrey By this meanes the almightie beeing most liberall and mercifull shall giue them the peace of conscience in causing their labour to bee profitable to his glorie and the good of the Realme and of the King to the generall contentment of all those which desire to liue according to the will of God The generall Conclusion ALL which said Articles being approued and verefied do declare the author of the aforesaide false accusations suppositions not onely to be an impudent slanderer but guiltie in all by all the enormeous crimes wherwith hee hath falsly accused his soueraigne prince together with those which acknowledg him as their king S. Iude saith that Michael the Archangell durst not giue any cursed speeches against the deuil but saith the Lord rebuke thee whiles that thou wicked creature like to a brute beast doest miscall Lordshippes the institution and dignitie of the which thou wouldst malitiously stand in doubt of following the destruction of the children of Chore. It would be better for thee to remember that the wrath of the king is as the messenger of death Prou. 16. but the wise man will pacifie it Thou canst not deny but that thy infamous writings wretchedly written brought to a lawfull Monarch such a one as he of France doe declare thee to be the head and chiefe of prophane lyers and deceyuers and so much the more excellent in the art of falsly slandering and euill speaking of Lordships and honors by how much the more like to the example of Satan thou beeing disguised into an Angell of light doest serue thy selfe subtilly malitiously with some true maximes as they are in thēselues the which thou doest diuert and wrest from their true sence and right application to the intrapping by treason desolation and ruine of Fraunce And thus will I shutte vp this present discourse by this briefe conclusion as concerning the abuse brought in by the Bishops of Rome which sheweth your religion being Romish to be infamous vnto all the most religious and learned in Europe 1. Ye make of your high and most worthy ecclesiasticall charge a storehouse of ambition auarice idolatrie and superstition 2 Ye haue in stead of Christ Iesus and his Vicars placed the most corrupt men in all Christendome 3 Ye haue adnihilated the commaundementes of God and haue authorized the traditions which were forged in the Cittie of Rome 4 Ye cause the sgnes of the sacraments to be woorshipped as God and afterwards falling into another errour ye baptize your bels and your ships 5 To witnes your tyranny and falshood ye will not suffer your doctrine to be examined by the word of God 6 In stead of obeying your soueraigne Magistrate ye shew your selues rebels and not so content but also yee seeke to massacre him 7 Your corruption is so farre beyond measure that to speake of regeneration and the truth amongst you is accounted heresie 8 Ye sing your Masses likewise for the helth of beasts 9 Ye do apply to the condition of those the censure of excommunication 10 Ye shew the shamefulparts of your Bishop to princes at the installing of his pontificall office and yee make them to kisse his feet in such sort as was done to Caligula All which patches and infinite others beeing brought together do shew and veresie that there hath neuer beene any Pagan nation or people that haue so much sported with or mocked God his religion as yee doo and then in wiping the mouth Prou. 30. euē as the whore doth of whom Salomon speaketh ye say I haue done no iniquitie And not contente with that yee impute it vnto the iust who neuer thought it I haue no more to say to thee heere at this time but that the passions of the soule do alwaies produce contrary effects to their ends and desires Plut. in mor.
